these but still when I compile procmail, the errors that I keep getting
are :

make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `autoconf.h'

      I'm so lost!. I don't understand what it all means. Can anyone
please help me ?  BTW I'm using SunOS 5.4

You forgot to say what version of procmail this was.  If it was
anything but the current version, 3.13.1, then you should start over
with it.

Only two other things come to mind:
1) completely remove /usr/ucb from your path and try again
   (/usr/ucb/cc is broken and should _not_ be used)
2) make sure you're not invoking some local front-end for cc (sometimes
   done to force developers to adhere to local coding conventions)

You may want to reduce your PATH to just /usr/bin, /usr/sbin,
/usr/ccs/bin, and whereever the sun C compiler was installed (probably
/opt/SUNWspro/bin).
